The Plate Bar & Grill is one of our favorite Dive Bars!
Staff is friendly & welcoming, as well as their patrons. Drinks and food offerings are affordable, too.
They have a variety of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and sides. Their menu has many unique items, particularly their eclectic burgers, and they even have a Vegan Platter. The Golden Night's Hockey "score" Burger is a 3-meat creation, though I have to admit the Nutty Squirrel Burger (bacon, peanut butter, swiss) is my favorite. Don't judge. I tried it on a whim because it was different, and my enjoyment of it was unexpected. :)
One thing I really like, is that they offer sides of potato salad, Cole slaw, baked beans, or tossed salad, in addition to the normal offering of french fries. They usually have a good variety of soups, too. Tonight, I think they had about 6 available, of which french onion, beer-cheese broccoli, and prime rib soups were 3 of them. They also have Daily Dinner specials (Saturdays are Prime Rib Dinner).
You can order to-go, dine at the bar or at some of the side tables along the wall, but we enjoy the dinner tables in the small "dining room"; with tables & decor like you were in the dining room of your grandma's home. It is a place to just kick it and dine out, but with the feel like you were kicking it at a friend's home, having drinks, dinner, and good conversation.
It is Dive Bar food, drink, and atmosphere...just as it should be.
